Command Line Interface
Using the show history command displays a longer list of recently executed
commands.
Understanding Command Modes
The command set is divided into Exec and Configuration classes. Exec commands
generally display information on system status or clear statistical counters.
Configuration commands, on the other hand, modify interface parameters or enable
certain functions. These classes are further divided into different modes. Available
commands depend on the selected mode. You can always enter a question mark "?"
at the prompt to display a list of the commands available for the current mode. The
command classes and associated modes are displayed in the following table:

Configuration
Exec Commands
When you open a new console session on wireless bridge, the system enters Exec
command mode. Only a limited number of the commands are available in this mode.
You can access all other commands only from the configuration mode. To access
Exec mode, open a new console session with the user name "admin" and pasword
"private". The command prompt displays as "DUAL OUTDOOR#" for Exec mode.
Username: admin
Password: [system login password], default: private
DUAL OUTDOOR#
Configuration Commands
Configuration commands are used to modify wireless bridge settings. These
commands modify the running configuration and are saved in memory.
The configuration commands are organized into three different modes:
• Global Configuration - These commands modify the system level configuration,
and include commands such as username and password.
• Interface-Ethernet Configuration - These commands modify the Ethernet port
configuration, and include command such as dns and ip.
• Interface-Wireless Configuration - These commands modify the wireless port
configuration, and include command such as channel and encryption.
To enter the Global Configuration mode, enter the command configure in Exec
mode. The system prompt will change to "DUAL OUTDOOR(config)#" which gives
you access privilege to all Global Configuration commands.
